Compact home lift designs for city dwellers

Living in the City comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to this accessibility –  particularly as space is an extensive commodity! Even those without a disability struggle to maximize space. With property prices rising, finding suitable accessibility to fit in their current compact spaces is becoming a focus for many city folk. The team at Lancashire-based, Multicare Mobility, know the importance of making all homes as accessible as they can possibly be, including those that do not have a lot of space. That’s where compact home lift designs come in as they offer a practical and efficient solution for people who seek space saving home mobility options. Whether you are interested in a compact lift for one or two individuals, or a solution that accommodates larger items such as wheelchairs, this handy guide will help you select the right domestic lift for your needs. 

The Importance of Compact Home Lift Designs

Space is limited in the city, so traditional accessibility solutions aren’t always going to work as they can take up a significant amount of space. However, certain homelifts are  engineered to fit in small spaces seamlessly – providing a practical accessibility option via an innovative design, whilst occupying as little floor space as possible. 

What are the Benefits of Homelifts in a Small Home

Compact home lifts are designed with slim profiles, so they’ll take up as minimal space as possible so they don’t disrupt the flow of your home. Ultimately they can provide accessibility without sacrificing the aesthetic or functionality of your home. As well as their space saving benefits there are a couple of features that people with hidden disabilities can benefit from: 

• Reliable, safe and professional installation and maintenance with the highest safety standards
• Design versatility –  your home reflects your personal style. Homelifts include customisable options including a range of colours, glass types and flooring options allowing you to create a cohesive aesthetic in your home
• Cost-effective & Low Energy Usage – Although homelifts can be costly at the outlay, they run on the same 13 amp plug as a small household appliance, such as a kettle or toaster. Service and maintenance plans are also usually available to assist with the cost of upkeep.

Best Space Saving Home lift Models

Multicare Mobility have partnered with Stiltz home lifts to offer 4 home lift models to suit a variety of mobility needs. These models are renowned for being compact, quiet, and can be installed nearly anywhere. Each model also comes with a range of safety features and optional customisations.

What to consider before installing a compact home lift

• Space available – although there is usually a lift to suit your needs, survey your available space and consider your surroundings to understand which model is right for you.
• Choose the location of lift – ensure you don’t overlook things like ease of access, any existing infrastructure etc. A professional home lift installer can help you choose an optimum space with minimum disruption to your home.
• Explore functionality, safety and aesthetic customisations
• Consult with professional home lift stockist and/ or installer who will usually offer a free home survey and no-obligation quote.
• Budget – it’s good to have in mind an approximate budget for your homelift and the necessary home modifications.
